Thank you for the close-ups! I was all worried when I heard of fake maples, but when you see it close up with a decent camera, no one who had seen a real maple would fall for that fake.

(talking about the leaf side here, the queen side actually looked pretty close to me, other than the missing﻿ initials of course, but when you see the texture and detail of the leaf, that’s gotta be hard to fake)

Yes, I’d definitely recommend ordering a real Canadian silver coin from any one of ten places, Apmex, Jmbullion, Provident metals…on and on, no shortage of them. Even a local pawn shop. $20 for a new 2017 Canadian Maple. They are so beautiful, with many security features and .9999 pure. There is no mistaking it for a cheap-looking silver round!
